  • The Phenomenology of Community Activism: Muslim Civil Society Organisations in Australia
    The Phenomenology of Community Activism: Muslim Civil Society Organisations in Australia Author Amath, Nora Published 2014 Thesis Type Thesis (PhD Doctorate) School School of Humanities DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/1953 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/367694 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au The Phenomenology of Community Activism: Muslim Civil Society Organisations in Australia Nora Amath MA (Bond) BHSc (Honours) IIUM School of Humanities Arts, Education and Law Griffith University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2014 Abstract Muslim communities are among the least well understood in Australia. This thesis examines the emerging phenomenon of Muslim civil society organisations (MCSOs). In contrast to much publicised jihadist and radical groups, MCSOs are far more representative of Muslim communities and integral to the long-term position of Islam in Australia. Using descriptive phenomenology, this study presents the experiences of Australian Muslim civil society actors and the organisations they represent. Through 30 unstructured, in-depth interviews with 15 Australian MCSOs actors, their stories are told for the first time based on their lived experience and in their own words. In particular, this thesis explores how MCSOs have responded to the challenges of the Australian socio-political context, the perceived impact of these experiences, and how Islam is manifested within the contexts of these experiences. The key themes which emerged from these interviews include: community building, social inclusion, the impact of 9/11 and the negotiation of identity.

  • Australia's Top 10 Concrete Public Architectural Works Unveiled by Expert Panel
    AUSTRALIA’S TOP 10 CONCRETE PUBLIC ARCHITECTURAL WORKS UNVEILED BY EXPERT PANEL August 26, 2019 What do the Sydney Opera House, the High Court building in Canberra and the main carpark at the University of Melbourne have in common? They have all been named among the top 10 most outstanding concrete public architectural works in Australia of the past nine decades. A judging panel comprising some of Australia’s best-known architects and building experts today unveiled the first ever list of the 10 most outstanding concrete public buildings in the country. The publication of the Top 10 List marks the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the organisation that represents the heavy construction materials industry, Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia (CCAA). The Top 10 List was announced at a ceremony held at the Sydney Opera House, which is one of the buildings or structures on the list, along with iconic national buildings such as the High Court of Australia in Canberra, and more recent works like the Punchbowl Mosque in Sydney. The other structures in the Top 10 List are: the Australian Academy of Sciences’ Shine Dome in Canberra; Australia Square in Sydney, which was the country’s first “round” skyscraper; the Gladesville Bridge in Sydney; James Cook University Library in Townsville; the Melbourne University Carpark; Victorian State Offices, also in Melbourne; and the Queensland Art Gallery, in Brisbane. The Chief Executive Officer of CCAA, Ken Slattery, said the Top 10 List highlighted the aesthetic, environmental, and social contribution concrete has made, and continues to make, to Australia’s urban landscapes since the organisation began nine decades ago.

Explaining his list, Mr Stokes said, "One of the beautiful things about Sydney is that it isn't consistent and there's a contradiction of styles." [Architect Angelo Candalepas has reinvented the traditional wedding cake mosque in Punchbowl. CREDIT:STEVEN SIEWERT] His list reflects that. The oldest is The Mint on Macquarie Street, a former hospital funded by rum sales. It was known as the Sydney slaughterhouse because so many died from dysentery there. Mr Stokes admires the wide verandahs of the 1816 building as a major Australian contribution to international architecture. It also includes Elizabeth Bay House, called the finest home in the colony after the house and grotto were finished in 1839. He moves on to John James' 1968 Reader's Digest Building in Surry Hills built on the site of the Tooheys' stables, and then Bungan Castle, a Northern Beaches home that once hosted artist Norman Lindsay.
